本科研究 Honors Scholar (URHS) Program

Are you an undergraduate interested in research?

Students who register for the URHS program will:

  • receive information about undergraduate research funding, 研究的机会, 以及其他与研究相关的资源
  • be able to apply for essential supply and equipment grants to offset the costs of their URHS activities

完成课程后, which requires three semesters of research, 创造力或奖学金(RCS), 出版/展示他们的作品, students will receive an 本科研究 Honors Scholar designation on their transcript when they graduate.

Students from all colleges and majors are eligible for this program. Transfer or distance learning students enrolled at ODU are eligible for this program; however, experience gained while not an ODU student will generally not qualify.

这是一个新项目. Please contact Eddie Hill, 本科生研究主任, at HCUndergrad研究@apartments-florence.net for possible retroactive credit for activities performed in previous semesters.

大学教育服务计划是如何运作的?

注册参加这个项目

Registration will allow you to receive notifications about undergraduate research funding, 关于研究机会的信息, and 以及其他与研究相关的资源 at ODU, and is the first step in obtaining a 本科研究 Honors Scholar transcript designation.

Complete three semesters of substantive undergraduate research, 创造力或奖学金(RCS).

Semesters can fall into one of two categories:

Category 1: Non-course-based RCS experience

Students must be involved in a substantive RCS activity. A substantive RCS experience should include most or all of the following characteristics:

  • At least 120 hours spent in work directly relevant to RCS activity.
  • 支持 and mentorship of a faculty advisor, with regular meetings between advisor and student.
  • RCS activities in part devised and self-directed by the student. Multi-semester projects should demonstrate increasing independence of the student for attaining project goals.
  • RCS activities directed toward an end product, 比如出版物, 演讲, 展览, or similar demonstration of the student's work

Approval by the 本科生研究项目 must be obtained for all Category 1 experiences 之前 到上课的那个学期.

 

类别2:基于课程的RCS体验

(Elective; up to two may be used)

Up to two of the three semester-long URHS requirements may be fulfilled through standard coursework, provided the course includes a significant RCS component as part of its structure. Standard lecture- or laboratory-based courses in which laboratory outcomes are known in advance will generally not qualify for this requirement, nor will courses involving writing of literature reviews. Key characteristics of courses qualifying for this requirement are

  • 新颖的探究或发现
  • 学习/developing advanced skills in research, creativity, or scholarship.

A list of approved research-intensive courses is available on the 本科生研究网页 以及ODU荣誉学院. If the course you are taking is not on the approved list, you may apply to have it count toward a Category 2 semester by filling out a pre-semester application below.
